<h4>Objective</h4>The gene SLC15A4 (solute carrier family 15 [oligopeptide transporter], member 4) has been reported as contributing to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We performed a case-control replication study to investigate further the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SLC15A4 gene and systemic SLE in a Han Chinese population.<h4>Methods</h4>In Han Chinese SLE patients and healthy individuals (n = 355, 375, respectively), 18 SNPs in th ...[more]
